On average what would you say is your success rate when you go out to shoot? And what’s your experience level?
For myself who has a passion for photography but zero formal training and only purchased my first real camera less than a year ago, I’d say 1% of the pictures that I take are “good” or at least to the point to where I’d share them.
I know a lot comes from just going out and taking pictures but I feel like the gaps between when I go out and take pictures and actually sit at the computer and look at them is so spread out that I can never remember what I did or was thinking last time I was out shooting
I started in the '70s, as a broke teenager shooting film, so I’ve still got the habit of being stingy with my shutter button.
For ‘live’ circumstances where I have little control over what’s in front of the camera like sports, I usually get about one keeper for 10 clicks. With a little more control or a planned event, like a wedding, I might get 3-4 keepers out of 10. In studio, with a model, I might get better than 5 out of 10.
